LYRICS
Dying sun burns in the night
I watch it glow and it’s so hard for me
Speaking darkness out of spite
Coercion and then caving in
Wrap me in my bitterness
Give it up I’m complacent
Just enough to escape this
Heretics wouldn’t phase me
Lucid trust I don’t want it
Palms are rough when you promise
Fire lies when you’re honest
It’s hard to lose and wonder why
You pressure in increments
Like a slow moving coup
Memories dissident
When I am holding you
If my sun won’t set tonight
I’ll look around but it’s so hard for me
Like a shadow passing by
Crashing into shapes and then
Fading with my innocence
Give it up I’m complacent
Just enough to escape it
Heretics wouldn’t phase me
Lucid trust I don’t want it
Palms are rough when you promise
Fire lies when you’re honest
It’s hard to lose and wonder why
I have been waiting my whole life
For pressure in increments
Like a slow moving coup
Memories dissident
When I am holding you

Thank you for watching.
Through conversations with Musicians, Radio DJs, Record Executives, and more Courtney explores how their personal experiences of gender inequality influenced and shaped them as they navigated their way along difficult career paths. Because as a woman working in metal, nothing comes easy.
Each episode gives behind-the-scenes insight on how the music industry operates and what life is really like for working musicians. There’s also lots of advice for other women who are struggling to carve out their own path in traditionally male-domainated spaces. With plenty of stories and laughs along the way, Good For A Girl represents a defiant middle finger to the patriarchy.
So join Courtney as she uncovers why each one of her guests are good, for a girl.

Lyrics:
Touch the shell
Only traces remain like a stain on the bed post
Where I lay
Chamber fades
Second stage
I am tied to this venom
I feel it compressing
They call it a blessing
I call it my grave
I latched to a heart so clinical
I was alive to fight
It feels unnecessary
Pressure is a mortuary
I lost static like a ritual
I was alive to fight
It feels unnecessary
Pressure is a mortuary
I feel it compressing
They call it a blessing
I call it my grave
I feel a darkness
Survive off my beating heart
I was alive when the sun went down
I was alive when the sun went down
I feel a darkness
Survive off my beating heart
I was alive when the sun went down
I was alive when the sun went down
And when you’re touching a lie
Are you thinking of me?
I know I'm scratching a lie
And I'm finding a thief
I was alive when the sun went down
I was alive when the sun went down
I was alive
All the lies
All the shame
Cleanliness washed away
Chamber fades in this venom to late
For once
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
I latched to a heart so clinical
I was alive to fight
it feels unnecessary
Pressure is a mortuary
I lost static like a ritual
I was alive to fight
It feels unnecessary
Pressure is a mortuary
I feel it compressing
They call it a blessing
I call it a grave

LYRICS:
I am never truly alone
acceptance is slipping in, gripping limbs
it's crooked fingers intertwine
they cradle us together
a hundred years alone could never make it stop
push it back
I cannot fit
I cannot feel
they should not see, suspended in time
and their eyes are like razors the edges can sharpen the line
this is love
this is ordinary life
what a thrill stringing up splendid lights to paralyze
they burn to the touch
pretending at God
listen to the blood
razor blade eyes
I want a Goddamn mess
to ignite the fire
I want to lie in severance
leave me to cut my teeth
pretending at God is a custom
the vessel to syphon my love from
their eyes are a razor to cut me down, cut me down
this is love
this is love
this is ordinary life
what a thrill cheap enough to get caught on the edge this time
razor blade eyes
this is love
this is love
make it stop
this is love
this is love
make it stop
make it stop
this is love
this is love
make it stop
this is love
this is love
this is love
this is love
this is love

there is a bird of my sin on the windowsill
crashing up against my shelter
I hate the hollowed out bones and they fracture
the stranger tells me back down
the sparrow follows the thread
I try to remain untangled
I feel the leach in my throat
I'm holding it up to a blue flame
close the deck on the parasite
cut the cards and blow out the flame
follow the thread to the other side
there is blood in the remedy
there is blood in the remedy
and this where I cut my teeth
to fix the broken thing in me
if there's a shadow underneath
the phantom is the fallacy
the oil is separate
it covers against the blue flame
my words are now useless
crushing me under the weight
the stranger tells me it's over
look at the burns on your finger tips
repetition is dead
looking for proof in the chrysalis
and now you've rendered me voiceless
sparrow bones
and my wings clipped
I know there's blood in the oil
close the deck
cut my teeth
the phantom is a fallacy
the sparrow follows the thread
I try to remain untangled
now I feel the leach in my throat
I'm holding it up to a blue flame
The oil is separate
it covers against the blue flame
my repetition is dead
looking for proof in the chrysalis
bird of sin on my windowsill
brushing up against my shelter
hollow bones and they fracture
drag me down and I suffer
the leaches down my throat
I'm trying to take my hold onto the blue flame
cut the parasite

time will be with you always
you treat it with lidocaine
a willing distraction to make it feel far away
you have to say
you have to say if something's not right
believe me
embrace the pain
delusion isn't viable anymore
breathe it in now breathe it out
the second the hand unwinds
an excess of freedom you've built far away in your mind
though it's expected to feel so responsible
(something in the water now, breathe it in now breath it out)
with out illusion it makes you uncomfortable
there's something in the water now
(let your lungs fill up with doubt, breathe it in now breath it out)
I feel the tension
there's something in the water now
(pick your poison, spit it out
breathe it in now breath it out)
I'm suspecting that
time will be with you always
you treat it with lidocaine
a willing distraction to make it feel far away
you have to say
you have to say if something's not right
believe me
embrace the pain
delusion isn't viable anymore
I'm gutted
slipping away
no numbness lifting the fray
hallucination
distracting from building tension
they hold me nameless
I don't even know their faces
a moment in time
(time will be with you always)
perfect hallucination
distract me from building tension
give me more insulation
I don't even know their faces
time will be with you always
you treat it with lidocaine
a willing distraction to make it feel far away
you have to say
you have to say
you have to say
you have to say
you have to say
delusion isn't viable anymore

distracting from building tension
they hold me nameless

teeth in crumbs
like sand in my mouth
four little fingers keep pulling them out
four little hands they keep pulling me
pulling me down
I try to grin, I try to scream
please say anything the frequencies ringing it out
where is love?
are you ordinary with me now
meet me down in the mud
I will call on you when there's nothing left to say
soon the hour will come
look over your shoulder
there's no need to run anymore
I know I'm easily affected
her arms are like a serpent spinning me around
can she see?
lights go out when there is nothing left to say
soon the hour will come
look over your shoulder
there's no need to run
anymore
mirror me
I'm down here in the mud
this is ordinary
in my suffering, there's no cheaper thrill
it's malevolent
can't go unaffected
oh sing to me something sweet, threatening
you cling to me
blood of ophidian
untell me
help me I'm crippling
you won't sacrifice my love
meet me down in the mud

I am a prisoner here
weave the synthetic when wrapping up my wrists
I don't truly dream when you're near
loosen aesthetics remain asphyxiated on the paint peeling back from the door
now I can see you for what you are
she drew the shape on the floor
now I can see the full spectrum
how can I feel existential dread, it's my fear
I am eternal
hurt me with your mouth make me settle down
whispering the words on the wind as they blow
heartbeat in the nest, pressure on my chest where did all the signs of the dissonant go
and when they tell me they pray for me and they lack a certain empathy the enemy hits me so low
so the circles on the ground make me settle down
hurt me, give me something from nothing
this is the lie that you come from
meet me down in the mud
she is the mother and she loves it when we all hurt each other
proud that her children are weak
I am a language that you have hidden in a syllable and now you're refusing to speak
I don't even cry anymore
hurt me with your mouth make me settle down
whispering the words on the wind as they blow
heartbeat in the nest, pressure on my chest where did all the signs of the dissonant go
and when they tell me they pray for me and they lack a certain empathy the enemy hits me so low
so the circles on the ground make me settle down
hurt me, give me something from nothing
this is the lie that you come from
my skin crawls
my chest heaves
punish me
it's the effect of the mara

you say the pain will liberate me
you turn my body into knots and tell me it's a blessing
you say you love me love in this shape
that there is beauty in my suffering
I wonder would I stay
if you asked for it
you still create the shape
and I ask for it
I gave my heart in pieces
please release me I'm tired
don't try to pacify me
please release me I'm tired
I'm slipping away
no discipline just let me be
and now my body starts to worry
put down the words I will not hesitate
this is your chance make me relatable
knock me down with your false intentions
it turns to ash in my mouth
I need you gone
I beg you to release me
now I turn my body into something
into the shape you find so trusting
I could never be that shape
you caught me slipping
farther down in madness
echo chamber (nod your)
leave my body in peace
no need to pacify me
nod your head yes
the pain will set you free
I gave my heart in pieces please release me I'm tired
don't try to pacify me please release me I'm tired
leave my body in peace
no need to pacify me
you find escape in the reverie
this is the beauty of suffering
I love you I always will
my heart is always still
(please release me I'm tired)
you find the strength in the reverie
this is the beauty of suffering
